the_o apostle_n dedicate_v his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n to_o all_o that_o in_o every_o place_n call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n and_o what_o he_o shall_v

know_v the_o scripture_n be_v able_a to_o make_v man_n wise_a unto_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o will_v have_v all_o man_n read_v they_o and_o our_o bless_a saviour_n know_v that_o the_o jew_n
